Do You Serve the Axis?
Do you complain at every restriction of war? Do you
resent its interference with your plans for living? Do you
take time off to discuss with other 'disgruntled people how
war is changing- your entire mode of life? Do you object to
sacrificing non-essentials to keep your freedom? If you do,
you are serving the Axis.
Do you question every act of those in authority, forgetting that it was you who elected them to power? Do you
from the security of your own front porch or corner store
waste valuable time saying what should have been done by
the men thousands of miles away who are fighting twenty-
four hours a day and giving their lives to keep the war from
your doorstep? Do you doubt the loyalty of that ally who has
fought the Axis foi,- three long years until there is not a family even on the most secluded upland farm that has not felt
the dread hand of loss? Do you question the loyalty, intelli-
• gence, ability of your own sons, and your neighbors' sons ?
If you do, you are serving the Axis.
Do yoCi delay to serve your own ends first ? Do you give
half-hearted service ? Are you sticking to your own personal
task; or doing the war; job you could do? Are you relyingon
others to protect you and dodging your civilian defense job
because it is hard work? Are you skimping on full time, and
not giving overtime ? If you are, you are serving the Axis.
Do you stand on your rights ? Do you demand preferential treatment for yourself, or your community or your
group? Do you .refuse to do your part in this war until you
are paid to do it? Are you a "mercenary" soldier, not a "citizen-soldier" ? Do you think only of yourself and your narrow
circle of life insteavYof the nation as a whole? Do you demand
the privileges of democracy and isnore its responsibilities?,
ff y6u'd6/jr6u"are^servuig the Aj&s! '" '"
Do you discriminate against your fellow Americans ? Are
you a disseminator of the poison of hatred with which Hitler
is trying to gas this country into confusion? Do you generalize about racial and religious groups—passing on as gospel
truth the lies handed out by Herr Goebbels and his emissaries
—forgetting they are not groups but individuals, neighbors
with Nvhom you have grown up, who have lived with, you,
suffered with you, sacrificed with you and rejoiced with you?
Do you fan class hatreds with stories of greed for money and
power, suspecting both Industry and Labor of treason, forgetting that they know they have just as much to lose in this
war as you have? If you do, you are serving the Axis.
Now is not the time for a divided allegiance! This is
OUR war—the war of all of us. This is the UNITED States
of America. We are Americans all. Don't serve the Axis!
Appreciate America--"
Be thankful for America; speak well of our country.
This is our day, .our time, in which to keep the light of liberty
burning brightly for people everywhere to behold.
Some people, pleading craftily for totalitarianism, disparage democracy, ridicule-it,, deny its virtues, its sound principles; and they tell us that we'have no freedom at all. We
know better.
The government is our government. We have elected it
—all of us together. Opposition parties flourish. They speak
and print and use the radio. This is freedom. It is unknown
in the dictator countries.
We go to church—^to the church of our choice, and no
one interferes with any of us. Ministers of religion may criticize the government, insist upon reforms, plead for the underprivileged, oppose persecution, discrimination, injustice.
Pastors are not spied upon by the police, reported, arrested
and silenced. Children may be educated religiously from childhood; our Sunday schools, colleges and theological seminaries
are open. And they shall remain open! This is religious freedom in America..It is unknown—utterly and completely absent in the dictator countries.
Go into an American schoolroom. You will see boys and
girls there who come from well-to-do families, and from poor
families. You will see children from Protestant homes, Catholic homes, Jewish homes. You will observe that their teacher
is their guide who instructs them in the knowledge of principles and ideals, and in the formation of judgment values.
Go into a Nazi schoolroom. There you will see children
from only so-called "Aryan" homes. Others—the so-called
"non-Aryans"—are. denied even the right to such education
as the land affords. You will observe that the teacher's function is not to teach truth as such, but NAZI ideas and NAZI
slogans. The teacher is the children's master who must stifle
intelligent inquiry in the interests of stupid obedience to the
dictator and the state.
One schoolroom is built upon the principle of American
freedom. The other is built upon the principle of totalitarian
tyranny.
For the preservation of this freedom, and for its endurance into a brighter day, we fight today—and work—and
pray that Almighty God will "defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out
of many kindreds and tongues."

Brief Recognition Program
Sunday to Honor Work of
Organization; Ten Charter
Members Still in Church
Sunday morning in a quiet, simple observance Zion Luthran church
will commemorate the 60th anniversary of the continuous organization of a Sunday-school in connection with the church.
Those in charge of the recognition service have planned only a
short program at the close of the
regular Sunday school hour in order that the regular church program might continue as usual.
However, simple though the
service may be, it will accord full
honor to those who have- worked
throughout the years to keep the
school alive and growing. At the
present time there are ten members of the church who were charter -.nemfc-crs of that first Sunday
school, held on April 26, 1882.
They are Adam Givler, J^ohn
Givler, Warren Givler, Myron Mohler, John Surbey, Mis. Myron ijtoh-
ler, then Elizabeth Smith; Mrs.
A. R. Warstler, ths-n Amelia Metz;
Mis. J. L. Schneider, then Emma
C. Roush; Mrs. John Surbey; then
Dilla Clouser; and Miss Cora E.
Snyder.
There are other residents in
town at the present time who w-s-re
chailer members of that first Sunday school who have since gone
into other congregations.
While checking through available historical material concerning
the first school, Orval Mollett,
chairman of the committee, discovered time worn data, concerning
the first Sunday school, dated April
26, 1829, 113 years ago. However,
evidence indicates that this was
not continued and the reorganization tcok place 60 years ago.
Officers of this reorganized, or
new Sunday school were Michael
Bitzer, superintendent; Christian
Schneider, assistant superintendent; Isaac Hossler, secretary;
Solomon Givler, librarian; Daniel
Druckenbrod, chorister; and William Roush, treasurer.
In the Sunday school tdday tlie
officers are James B. Miller, superintendent; Miss Hilda Brunn, secretary; ,Miss Anna Exenkemper,
treasurer; and Miss Mildred
Freese, intermediate department
superintendent.
